From steaming the soybeans to packaging them, the process is carried out smoothly by the hands of our skilled staff and by specialized machines.
I can't help but take a close look at what kind of innovations they have and what kind of machines they use.

The staff member showed me the soybeans that were just steamed.
Each grain is shining. When I think that I can make natto using this soybean, I get excited!

The soybeans for this experience weighed 100g. However, what I put on the scale is 105g.
why?
``Natto bacteria loves soybeans, so they eat them.This reduces the weight of the soybeans, so we weigh a little more,'' says the staff member.
Hey, this is the first trivia I learned. informative.

The explanations were easy to understand, they helped me when I had trouble doing the work, and I had a fun experience. thank you very much!
By the way, when I asked about the name ``Tanumise'', I was told that it came from the fact that ``the former president owned the ``Tanuki Collection.'' Consent.

``Natto-age'' is made by kneading nutritious ingredients such as natto, chives, chikuwa, and sesame into rice flour dough, placing it on seaweed and deep-frying it. There are three flavors: plain, curry, and spicy, and the natto is a nice accent.
Okuno Foods' natto is commonly found in supermarkets in Mie Prefecture.
The large grain type has each grain firm, flavorful and delicious, and is satisfying to eat.
